What do you think of BrowseAloud? (self.Blind)
submitted by _RyTheGuy_
I discovered it a while ago and I'm wondering if it's available on a website, does anyone actually use it?

I think I may have come across brows aloud on a couple of websites. If I remember correctly, you press enter on the read out loud button and a text to speech voice starts reading the article to you.
What do I personally think of it? It's good for those that need it but for me, I prefer my screen reader.

Gotcha. Is there anything you feel they could add to it for people using screen readers?
I was looking at adding it to my website and just wanted a few opinions on it.

If there was a way to speed up the voice and skip parts of articles that would be nice. Although we can do that using our screen reader.
Why do you want to add it to your site? What do you think it will allow us (screen reader users) to do that we couldn't do without it?
I think it helps the Visually impaired but you could just add a way to make text bigger. It's up to you, it's your site but I'm just curious.
Would you like to give me a link to your site so that I can tell you about any screen reader accessibility issues?

I didn't really have anything in mind, I was just trying to get a sense of how much of a difference it made to someone using a screen reader or really any sort of assitive tech.
That's true, I could easily add something like that!
For sure! I appreciate the offer and I'd love to take you up on it! I'll send you the link.
Thank you!

It wouldn't make any difference to me. i'm completely blind and use the NVDA screen reader.
